Another Vandalia boys track record fell, as the 4X200-meter relay team set a new mark at Hillsboro last Thursday.

Senior Quenten Austin, junior Wade Cowger, sophomore Colton Woolsey and junior Ryan Ambuehl teamed up to place second in the race in 1:37.84, beating the previous record, which was set in 2009, by 1.5 seconds.

Austin and Ambuehl now are part of all four relay records at VCHS.

Ambuehl, Austin and Codie Jackson also had individual first-place finishes to help the Vandals place second out of three teams.

Vandalia senior Quenten Austin has dabbled in almost every track event during his four-year high school career, so it’s not a big surprise that some of his future goals include success in more than one event.

After celebrating senior day last Thursday at his final home meet, Austin went on to win three events at the conference meet on Tuesday, taking victories in the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles, and the high jump. He fell short of his goal of winning four events by placing sixth in discus.

LITCHFIELD – The meet started out as one to forget for Ryan Ambuehl, but it finished as one he will always remember.

The Vandalia junior missed the finals of the 110-meter hurdles on Tuesday after making contact with his teammate and taking a spill during the prelims, but he went on to break the school record in 400-meter dash during the South Central Conference Championships.
